Float Plan by Trish Doller

5.0

This book begins with content warnings of self-harm and sucide, I truly appreciate this coming from the author and publisher. The book opens with Anna’s fiancé, Ben, leaving a sucide note for Anna then jumps to a year after his death. The rest of the book is an adventure sailing the ocean, navigating grief, finding a “new normal”, and opening up to love. Anna and Keane's path become interconnected and I enjoyed seeing their personal growth together. I highly recommend this book because it addressed big themes but still provides laughters and love. I felt like I was on the “trip of a lifetime” with these characters and wish they were my real friends. I also appreciated the main character Keane being a person with a bionic leg. He advocates about how people don’t need to “feel sorry for him” and he can still live a full life with a few modifications. These are real messages the world needs to hear to become more opened minded for people with disabilities. Thank you Trish Doller for helping with normalizing these topics of grief, mental health, and disability awareness.

Thank you NetGalley, St. Martin’s Griffin, and Mcmillian Audio for my gifted copies in exchange for an honest review.
